OUR HISTORY –The Beginnings |
|
In 1946, after completion of his World War II service with the Canadian Navy, and equipped with a strong technical background, Bill Rose opened a radio and appliance shop in downtown Frankford on the south side of Mill Street, across from where Frankford Foodland operates today. The post-war era saw rapid technical advances and with the emergence of television in the 1950's the business evolved to include sales and service in tv's, antennae, and also major appliances. In 1952, finding the need for more space, Bill, (now married to Pearl -daughter of a Sidney Township farmer), relocated the business to a larger building at the present day location on North Trent Street. (Notice the Beatty appliance sign in the photo.)
